In Zechariah 5:1-4 we read “Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.[SUP]2 [/SUP]And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
[SUP]
4 [/SUP]I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.”
The thief comes forth to steal Gods words, just as those who swear falsely by the name of the Lord have not been sent by, nor anointed by the Lord. Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
These who come in the name of Truth, but really come in their own name, are of the Destroyer who comes forth to steal, kill, and destroy in the name of the Lord. Their deadly poison is the words they speak, for the poison of asps is in their tongues.
And like fiery serpents their tongues do kindle a fire. James 3:6 “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
The Lord by the angel told Zechariah of their resemblance through all the earth in Zechariah 5:6. And so this curse applied to all the inhabitants of the earth, even the whole earth as the Lord said in Zechariah 5:3 above.
And notice how the Lord describes “their resemblance” throughout all the earth in Zechariah 5:7-11 “And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.[SUP]8 [/SUP]And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.[SUP]10 [/SUP]Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
This is “Mystery Babylon” and the woman is spiritual wickedness who is at work in all the earth, this is also “their resemblance” or those who swear falsely by the Lords name.
There are 3 major religions who swear by the name of the Single God of Abraham, (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and even many other off shoots come from these. But those who proclaim to come in the Lords name (for His name is called the Word of God) and are not chosen of the Lord Himself, even anointed by the Lord’s Holy Spirit; even these are under the curse.
2 Peter 2:14 “Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
